Illamasqua DWS Nail Varnish Review, Photos, Swatches Reviews Contains: Affiliate Links, Sample 8/13/11August 13, 2011 Illamasqua DWS Nail VarnishIllamasqua DWS Nail VarnishIllamasqua DWS Nail Varnish ($14.00 for 0.5 fl. oz.) is described as a “cement grey” with a cream finish. It’s a gorgeous shade of gray that doesn’t lean brown–it’s that perfect shade of gray skies. There’s a tinge of blue in it, but it’s very subtle and only picked up in really bright, direct light. Zoya’s Dove was the closest shade I could think of, but it leans browner–less blue.The formula was exactly what I expect of Illamasqua: excellent. It’s thick without being goopy, so it delivers amazing color coverage–almost opaque in a single coat, though I did two here. It flows evenly across the nail without bubbling or streaking. I typically get a week of wear without minimal tip wear with Illamasqua’s polishes. 16 5 DWS DWS A+Permanent Where to Buy Affiliate Links IllamasquaSelfridgesSkinstore.comb-glowingBloomingdale's More Retailers ASOS Int'l Retailers Beauty BayFeelUniqueLookFantasticThe Bay (CA) 16 5 Where to Buy Affiliate Links IllamasquaSelfridgesSkinstore.comb-glowingBloomingdale's More Retailers ASOS Int'l Retailers Beauty BayFeelUniqueLookFantasticThe Bay (CA)10Product10Pigmentation10Texture10Longevity5Application100%Total We hope you'll consider supporting Temptalia by shopping through our links below.

AnnaI really love this shade 🙂 Too bad we cant buy Illamasqua here in Finland If we could Id definitely would buy this one 😀
VioletIllamasqua ship worldwide, so you should be able to order it from their online store! I’m in Norway, and have ordered from them.
VijayaI love Illamasqua polishes in general. If I had to pick one brand for the rest of my life… Illamasqua. Worth the extra money, IMO.
Kewt-ified NailsExcellent!! I’ve been in the mood for some serious grey polishes, and I think I might pick this one up soon. 😀 I love Illamasqua.
DalaLuzO no, this shade reminds me to much of the summer we’ve been having over here… I can’t remember what color the sky is supposed to be…
DalaLuzAnd yes, it is still a very pretty nail varnish:-) But seriously: can somebody ask the clouds to give the sun back?
LeslieI own Zoya’s Dove, but I would consider buying this one, too. I would definitely look nicer with my complexion.
memeMajor fan of this shade. This might be my first Illumenesque polish I finally get. I have to watch my pennies however as have major surgery coming up in Oct with my huge share to pay as well as 1 month of Residency Inn charges so I stay in the area post op per MD orders. But maybe I can sneak in another order from Sephora between now and then. It’s not the right shade I need to get however for Sept Ovarian Cancer Awareness. I am on a major hunt for the right teal/aqual for their shade.
memeOoops spoke too soon – it’s there only on a gray color dot and description says CEMENT GRAY! It’s so not that. The blue really is coming through over the gray. I would never buy it not having see this swatch! I hate color chips!
SolangelI have a Bettina one that looks EXACTLY like this one! It’s only 1$ and it lasts forever 😀
DannyI’m wearing a very similar shade to this right now. It’s by NYC Color and it’s called Sidewalkers.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »The handle isn’t as comfortable to hold/use as it could be.
SofiaI have this shade and I love it so much!! Plus it’s almost perfect in one coat and lasts for a week as you’ve said.
